RE: ECM / BCV / hot backup
I agree with that. Unfortunately, that is the only way because RMAN doesn't support BCV's just yet. The problem with BCV is that the database on the "Business Continuity Volume" is the same as the original, including the DBID. As you know, RMAN uses DBID for registration purposes and you cannot register the resulting database. What would be needed is for RMAN to start time-finder itself and copy (used to be "SRDF") the original database to the "BCV" version, but we aren't there yet. What is that "ECO alliance" doing, anyway (ECO = EMC, Cisco, Oracle). Be sure to have large MAXHISTORY value so that your control file contains sufficient number of redo logs. -Original Message-From: Tim Gorman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 8:49 AMTo: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-LSubject: Re: ECM / BCV / hot backup Do backup controlfile before step #1 and make sure that it is swept up by Omniback during step #6.

Re: ECM / BCV / hot backup
What do you mean by make sure that it is swept up by Omniback during step #6. ? - Original Message - From: Tim Gorman To: Multiple recipients of list ORACLE-L Sent: Thursday, December 05, 2002 14:48 Subject: Re: ECM / BCV / hot backup Do backup controlfile before step #1 and make sure that it is swept up by Omniback during step #6.
